Computer Diplomacy 1984 Strategy
"A faithful rendition of the classic boardgame, its graphics and computer intelligence were probably never state-of-the-art, the AI was learning disabled and multi-player options were clumsy. Yet its faithfulness to its predecessor made this a keeper for its time. "By the way, it is a *much* better version of the game than the much-hyped 1999 MicroProse remake. ...
Ad Verbum 2000 Adventure
The city finally having secured an eviction notice, the demolition contractor is contractually obligated to conduct an inventory of the Wizard of Wordplay's manor before knocking it down, clearing the spooky space for cheap condos or a mini-mall. The only problem is that with his peculiar and punny powers pervading the property, the poor prestidigitator's possessions pooh-pooh playing possum, putting punitive and perilous portents into play, preventing the project from proceeding. (Phew!) Surely this is a job for a veteran text adventurer such as yourself! In your previous adventures, you only engaged grues and dwarfs with language -- here (as in...
Slipstream 5000 1995 Sports
Slipstream 5000 is a nice futuristic racing game with cool-looking fully-textured 3D graphics. They are very fluid albeit a bit slow. You can fly through varied courses located all over the world, there are also many vehicles to choose from and some weapon systems to blast off your opponents with. You will fly in futuristic arenas, earthy trenches that recall LucasArts' Rebel Assault, and many more. Every course is very well rendered, and makes full use of standard 256-color VGA palette. There are many hidden surprises, and different kinds of enemy ships to contend with. In many ways, Slipstream 5000...
Ship, The 2006 Arcade action
The Ship is one of those games that doesn't quite live up to its potential, but is still fun to play. It is a new take on an old genre, and people will probably either love it or hate it. It definitely isn't for everyone, since you have to be of a particular sort of people to enjoy the pacing. The premise brings to mind old mystery novels or shows: You have been invited on a cruise by Mr. X, but you soon find that you are involved in a twisted game. You are given a quarry to kill, and scattered...
Leisure Suit Larry 5: Passionate Patti Does a Little Undercover Work 1991 Adventure
The first game of the series to use the Sierra point-and-click interface in lieu of the parser-driven method, Leisure Suit Larry 5: Passionate Patti Does a Little Undercover Work again has you controlling both Larry and Patti, each with separate storylines. The points-for-task are scaled back to a mere 1,000, with roughly a quarter of them assigned to Patti. In keeping with the series history, the fifth chapter (actually fourth, since "Leisure Suit Larry 4" was mysteriously skipped in the annals of publishing) centers on "parental control" material, aka, lewd and lascivious innuendo and adult behavior (if one can mistake Larry's...
MechWarrior 4: Vengeance 2001 Arcade action
MechWarrior 4: Vengeance begins with a strong, enjoyable cinematic introduction that stirs up excitement, a rare commodity when compared to the impatient norm for the genre. Not only does the intro set the plot, but it also features nice direction and action sequences. Does the game deliver on this promising start? The short answer is yes. Most of the terrain is stunning. One mission in particular involves patrolling a beautiful mountainous area, replete with realistic trees, hills, and lakes nestled between the peaks where enemies can be blown up. Chasing after and firing at opponents from hilltops adds a welcome level...
On The Ball: League Edition (a.k.a. Anstoss) 1993 Sports
One of the most underrated soccer simulations ever, On The Ball differentiates itself from the likes of Championship Manager by its novel emphasis on the psychological aspects of the game. The game gives you, as team manager, full control over not just the strategies but even on what kind of "pep talk" you can give during half-time and PR moves to enhance public perception. Choose the host country, and lead your team from Qualification to World Cup in World Cup Edition and lead your English team to win the championship in League Edition. ...
Abuse 1995 Arcade action
Undoubtedly the DOOM of platform games, the only thing that's different between this underrated gem and that highly regarded classic is the Abuse's lack of first-person perspective. Despite a cliche plot (kill-all-aliens), everything else is spectacular: smooth animations, cool weapons and enemies, some thoughtful puzzles beyond flip-the-switch types, and the superbly *dark* atmosphere. It even includes a full-featured level editor/creator that allows you to set even custom AI of the monsters and how objects behave. A must-have! ...
Soccer Superstar 1996 Sports
Soccer Superstar is a poor football (soccer to you Americans) game from DDM, a small Spanish shareware developer. Let's start with the few good points first. Graphically, the game is on par with EA's early FIFA games, and each player has his own charisma and charasteristics that set the game apart from "cookie cutter" soccer games. Unfortunately, that's pretty much all Soccer Superstar has going for it. The players have a very limited range of movements, and the controls are very awkward. Certain games make up for poor pitch performance with a myriad of managerial options, but that is unfortunately...
NBA Live 99 1998 Sports
EA Sports is back again, releasing the newest in a long line of solid games. NBA Live '99 comes just in time to help basketball fans get through the tough times that the current NBA lockout has brought on. Updated this year with better graphics, new moves, new statistics, and a new play-by-play commentary, EA Sports has done more for Live this year than they ever have in the past. And the results are damn good. As soon as you start the game, you can tell Live '99 is slick. The interface is one of the most polished in games today....
